I love Torrance. There are so many cool, free things to do here! It seems like every week for the past month we've gone to a community event, beginning with the Armed Forces Day Parade a few weeks ago. The parade is awesome, complete with tanks, multiple fighter jet fly-bys, local high school bands, and vets, POWs, officers from every war and era. Watching Pirate Luke wave his American flag on the sidelines, cheering for the soldiers, well, it brought a tear to the eye. I sang that cheesy "Proud to be an American" song for a week.
Today, we checked out the Open House at the City Yard. This is where they house the buses, trash trucks, tractors, and other city vehicles. It is also where they repair stoplights and city cars like firetrucks, police cars, etc. It is a boy's paradise. Luke enjoyed driving the tractor, trash truck, and police car. He operated traffic lights and the lift on the city bus, but he was most excited to run into his cousins, Justin and Jack.
